OPEN A BOOK,OPEN THE WORLD
✶2016普立茲小說獎得獎作品
故事的敘述者為越法混血的越共軍官，在西貢陷落後他流亡到美國。與其他來自越南的難民一同在洛杉磯展開新生活的同時，他持續將情報回報給在越南的長官。除了愛與背叛外，《同情者》也藉主角雙面間諜的身份探討國族與身份認同的問題。而透過他內心的撕裂拉扯則可看見戰爭對個人生活造成的劇烈影響。
The winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, as well as five other awards, The Sympathizer is a sweeping epic of love and betrayal. The narrator, a communist double agent, is a “man of two minds,” a half-French, half-Vietnamese army captain who arranges to come to America after the Fall of Saigon, and while building a new life with other Vietnamese refugees in Los Angeles is secretly reporting back to his communist superiors in Vietnam. The Sympathizer is a blistering exploration of identity and America, a gripping espionage novel, and a powerful story of love and friendship.
